Santino Marella Pays Former Promotion, Shane McMahon Update

– As posted last week, Shane McMahon was down in Mexico recently meeting with both the Televisa and TV Azteca networks about airing WWE programming. Last word we heard, after looking at the offers from WWE, both networks turned them down.

– WWE Superstar Santino Marella sent a check for $500 to the Derby City Wrestling promotion this past week, along with a note that read “Thinking of you.” This is the second check Santino has sent the company since being brought up to the WWE roster full-time. DCW is an affiliate promotion of Ohio Valley Wrestling, a former WWE developmental territory. Santino worked for both companies before being a member of WWE’s RAW roster. A DCW house show last week drew only 166 paid fans.
